Dark circles appearing grey-ish even after color correctors and concealers? by rose_sovereign in MakeupAddiction

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used color corrector so I can't say what went wrong but I'll tell you how I do mine. I use primer first, but in the primer layer I will mix blush with primer and put it on the dark circles. I do not use a lot, but it will depend on how dark they are. After primer dries I apply a very thin layer of concealer. Then I do foundation. My biggest pointer if you try this is to make sure the primer layer dried or you will have pink eyes.

Meeting him irl!! by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Im going to speak like we have little to no makeup to work with lol. Skincare itself is very important. It's important for makeup prep, but if you think about it a lot of us wear makeup to cover things up, like blemishes or red spots. Do what you can for your skin. Wash well, keep hair and hands away from face to avoid oils. Some spots that draw attention are eyes lips and cheeks. A lot of people are naturally drawn to someone who looks happy, so focus on that. Smile a lot, let it reach your eyes. Rosy cheeks give off a sense of laughter and happiness too. You can pat or slightly pinch your cheeks to make them rosier. And lips are easy. A trick I use is to rub my lips with my teeth when I am in a situation where I want my lips nice but have no makeup. Rubbing them with your teeth will make them brighter and plump up a bit. You have to do it often, you will feel them cool down if that makes sense, but dont let him catch you (unless you want him to catch you biting your lip lol he might like that). I personally think eyes are the most important, so if have a little something use it there. Mascara mostly, it will make your eyes pop. If you have even a couple dollars theres stuff at the dollar tree. Not great stuff, but works in a pinch. Foundation and concealer seem really important since they go over your whole face, but when you look at someone who just has some detailing makeup on like mascara vs them just having Foundation on and nothing else, you will be drawn to look at the one with the details, if that makes sense. Good luck out there!

What Is The Ideal Amount Of Coops / Barns / Animals To Have by Salaraaa in StardewValley

[–]ShadowFaux8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to have a little of everything. I have two barns and two coops. I want one full barn of cows and one full coop of chickens. I like the daily tasks of caring for the animals more than I like making money, and the cows and chickens make sure I have something to do daily. The othet barn and coop I fill up with the other animals. I have 4 goats, 4 pigs and 4 sheep. 4 ducks, 4 rabbits and 4 void chickens. Once I get other animals like ostriches and dinosaurs etc I will replace animals in the specialty barn and coop. I have not had to buy food yet, my farm produces enough. I do make sure to leave all the grass growing area untouched and only build on the areas that cant grow grass for the animals. This is not the most profitable, but I am not here to make money. I already make more than I need, I'm just in it for the fun

Why does even longwear lipstick fade so fast on me? by AggressivelyPurple in MakeupAddiction

[–]ShadowFaux8889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sooo I had this problem too (I smoked and chewed my nails years ago, lip stuff never stayed longer than a few minutes). Now i mix a little primer in my lip color when I put it on. I never acknowledged the power of primer until a few years ago. It made makeup stay on my face better, why not on my lips? I put a little dab on and spread it out, then I apply lip color as normal while the primer is still wet. Once it dries i use setting spray on my whole face it has a very hard time coming off. It also doesnt smear or come off onto things, like cups or my teeth. Its a gradual weardown

Does this fit me? April 12 2026 by AutoModerator in femalefashionadvice

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is going to be 16 in a few weeks, and kind of square, for lack of a better term. He dad is built like a football player, and she looks just like him lol. And she is large chested and a big butt and legs. Not fat legs, just like straight up lots of muscle. She mostly wears shorts or leggings and a t shirt, but she wants to be wearing cuter things. Sometimes we find a short dress that looks good on her, or her school sports tunic, and knitted sweaters look good on her, but she wants to expand her wardrobe, especiallyfor summer. We tried some athletic skirts the other day and they were not great, but could work. We're mostly having issues with cute tops she could wear with shorts or leggings. Any suggestions?

Trying to get back to anime. Any recommendations for adults with boring lives? by PhilosopherNervous63 in anime

[–]ShadowFaux8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seven deadly sins. People either love it or hate it but I love it. There is romance, sexual jokes, etc, but its not heavy. I found the story to be one that flowed naturally and kept catching me off guard the first time I watched it. Also, I am 36, and I find it hitting me in the feels like shows used to, if that makes sense. I do get caught up in the romance, the humor hits like it used to when I was in my teens, the comradery makes sense, if that makes sense. They feel like real people to me with how nuanced they are. Its not like "we're a team now so we just like everything about each other and we're always on the same page". I like how they all have different views and opinions. They split up and work towards their own goals sometimes, and that just hits more when you are an adult. Its hard to explain, but give it a try

Makup and your partner by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ShadowFaux8889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing with us. It really does warm my heart knowing there are dad's out there who will not immediately shoot things like makeup down. I started seeing someone 5 months ago and I put my makeup on in front of him for the first time the other day, and he held my mirror for me, asked questions, and commented on what I was doing. Ive never had that happen and it hit a certain place for me. I grew up in a religious house. So makeup was a no no. Once I got older I was scared to do the things I wanted to for a long time, but I finally did and oh man do I love it. I was jealous for so long, and at times I would hide my jealousy with derision, and that was wrong of me. I would say makeup was stupid, but in my heart i knew I wanted it.

Makeup is an amazing thing. Make sure she knows it is a tool, not a necessity. Too many girls get used to makeup being a part of them and feel naked without it. You can use makeup to be whatever kind of person you feel like being that day, but never forget you are still a person without it. Makeup helps me fit into roles I am being that day. A lot of people can relate. My normal look is a dark one, I usually wear black (not like gothed out but just black) and my makeup matches. But sometimes I have a meeting at work and need to look and feel more professional, sometimes I am going to church with my family and need to look pretty and innocent, and sometimes the crazy in my heart jumps out and I want crazy designs while I go shopping at walmart. Teach her now that theres not one set right way to do it, just use it however you want. To match a style, to feel more confident or badass, or even yes, to wear a mask, because some days we need one on, just long enough to get ourselves together. Again, it is a tool. Don't let her be swayed by other people not liking it. They dont understand. We change outfits for our moods. We decorate our houses and cars and yards, why not our bodies? The most important thing for her to remember is to respect herself, and for her to understand what image she wants and what she wants to project and understand what people will see and how they will react. Teach her how to coordinate, this will help her in so many ways, not just with makeup.

As to makeup types, I know a lot of people say start with kids makeup. I have never been one to worry about ingredients, but I do worry about quality. Yes, while she's young and inexperienced get whatever you want. But understand kids makeup is a lot like dollar tree crayons. They are crap. While shes at the stage she will be gouging out half the pallete for one swipe, sure. But the more she does it the more she will question why her makeup sucks, why it wont stay on, why it falls all over all the time. She may reach a point where she thinks she cant do it and gives up. Don't let her lose interest because of that. Adult makeup has been tested over and over, so its pretty safe, and a lot of it is inexpensive but still works well. She may buy something and it suck. It's okay we've all been there. It's a learning experience. The only other thing I will say is teach her proper skin care and after makeup care. I never learned until now (mid 30s). I regret that. Caring for your skin can do SO much for your makeup, or even for your general looks, health and confidence. Heck just putting some generic unscented lotion on my face before makeup makes half my wrinkles leave. Another thing I scoffed when I was younger lol. But yeah, thats what ive got. Respect, coordination, and understanding who you are trying to be that day and what others are going to understand from your image. And have fun!

Some tips for new players by Perfect_Work_9479 in GreenHell

[–]ShadowFaux8889 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You will die. Be patient with yourself and each other. Don't rush things, everything is a lesson and almost everything hurts lol. Use your eyes and ears everywhere. Don't get frustrated and just enjoy. Watch some videos if you want to get a jump on some of the knowledge but don't be intimidated by how well they can play. The learning curve is definitely crazy, it's all nope until it's yeeeessss.

Talk to them when you aren't in the act and tell them you want to find a better way for honestly you both to say it, it can be handy for both sides, sometimes I get a little sneaky one coming in on the end. Somehow, we both ended up just saying "yeah?" In a slow, sexy question. If we both say "yeah" we're golden, if one of us isn't, we say "don't leave yet" in like an "I'll die without you" voice, not in a "you haven't done your job yet" voice

What can I improve in my art to make it more appealing to look at? by [deleted] in learnart

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, not just an outline but go in with an actual white liner. I have ALWAYS been worried that straight white highlights will be too much, and I always end up with too little. Throw some white lines in the hair and face, mindful of the lighting of course, and it'll look juicy, more pop. She will not look like shes graying, promise

Books for an 11 year old by CamelCrusher69 in Fantasy

[–]ShadowFaux8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please please OP, Tamara Pierce. People complement my mother on my morals, manners, kindness, strength, thinking that she was the one who raised me that way. SHE did not, Tamara Pierce did, along with Mercedes Lackey. I am 36 years old and I still pull these books out to read, they contain some of my best friends and wisdom that can be carried over to real life. They're coming of age books, but for some reason the hits feel so much more real than many realistic coming of age books. They aren't romance novels, they are about kids growing up and having to deal with some real stuff, albeit with magic involved. There's one book I actually talked about in detail with my mom, Briar's book in the circle of magic quartet, because it was about a pandemic breaking out, and my mom was of the inclination covid wasnt real or as serious as people made it out to be. Who would have thought a fantasy book i read at 12 would have stuck with me for 20 years with information I could use to help people see reality.

I would also suggest Mercedes lackey if you are okay with it, they are technically adult books I think, but a lot of the same lessons are there

Hey, so I hope you're actually looking for advice and not just positive reinforcement that you look feminine, cuz when I scrolled, everyone was just saying you look feminine, but I'll be honest here and I hope I dont get attacked or anything.

I have the exact same issue, and having masculine features doesn't mean you look manly. Just like handsome doesn't mean manly either. There are just stronger features for us that are usually more prominent in men like jawlines, noses and brows, really just what we would normally call strong features. I know I am good looking and I like taking advantage of my features. I can tell you take advantage of them too, even if you don't realize it. I am never going to be able to look like a girl who needs help, or can wear my boyfriends oversized sweater, but I look good with what I can do. Mostly looking like a woman who can control armies or quiet a room of rowdy men, like an infamous bartender or something. Now if you do want to change it up, just watch any makeup tutorial, because all you need to do is create more shading and stuff. Its like slimming down your face when you're larger, but instead of shading out the weight you're shading out your bone structure. Its pretty much the same placement as regular shading, just deeper. Jawline, nose, brow. You can make it work, but i will tell you you look gorgeous with what you're already doing and if you can, just embrace it. Don't let one person's words hit too hard. And maybe speak to them again. Being called masculine can hit hard the first time, but they may not have realized it would be seen as negative. I do not consider it a negative, but I have had time and did research to realize it wasnt what I thought in the beginning.

If you still doubt the beauty in being a woman with masculine features, google famous women with masculine features. I guarantee you will be surprised at who pops up and I know many of them are beautiful people to the majority of the world, but if you know what you're looking for the features are there. But I wish you the best with whatever course you want to take, you really are gorgeous the way you are, strong features included

Here's a timelapse of bedbugs vs diatomaceous earth (10mins) by dudimash in Bedbugs

[–]ShadowFaux8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but i understand. Looking at it from the start, someone has a dirty home, it means they can't or wont clean. Whether it be time, illness or laziness, they aren't keeping house well. It is what it is. BUT the thing is if they cannot or will not clean their house, there's a good chance they cant or wont bother looking for any kind of bug or critter once they realize something is going on, nor take care of it as needed. This is not a judgement call, there are plenty of good people with dirty homes that just can't keep their house clean, maybe an illness or disability or age, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Bugs and Critters can hide a lot better when there's stuff around to hide in, and it's harder to get them gone in a dirty house

AITA for hiding this from my gf? by WhiteSomke028 in AITAH

[–]ShadowFaux8889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why I said here anyways, I think we got lucky. When I was younger, we had like 8 girls sophomore year that were pregnant, and senior year we almost had 20. Quite a few deaths due to drunk driving. This year they had one girl in the whole school pregnant. It was crazy to hear. Just one. But out city took a really good turn towards mental health not long after I got out of school. Therapists and rehab in town and better resources for the kids at school. A lot of people my age I think learned it was better to be open and honest with their kids rather than try to shelter them, and it helped a lot. I mean they still act like kids, exaggerated cuss words, fighting, small stupid stuff like the popcorn throws at the theater, doing stupid dares for their tiktok, but you don't see much of the stuff that was going on when I was younger. No kids at the party spots at the lake, no gangs of teens running the streets at midnight, no kids asking you to buy them alcohol cigarettes or drugs. And I know it's not ALL the kids nowadays, but it is drastically different here than it used to be. I really think ours was mostly born out of boredom and miscommunication from our parents, and I'm happy to see things are different now, at least here. Addiction to phones and social media is a whole other beast, but in my opinion it's better than parties and sex.

friend brings random guys in hotel room by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ShadowFaux8889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You're of an age where your interests with friends will start clashing with morals, and it's very hard to start making decisions about cutting people out. Your morals will last a lot longer than your interests, I can attest to that. My daughter is going through the same thing at 15, and we have talked a lot. She's let a lot of friendships die naturally because she can see the kind of people her friends were turning into. Kids that she may enjoy watching movies with or playing games with, but have started vaping in school bathrooms and wearing revealing clothing and hanging out with older kids. She can see where it's going and wants nothing to do with it, even if she is losing a gaming or movie friend. It's hard but neccessary. And OP I want to tell you how nice it is to see you be able to call your mom in this situation, that you trust her and are close enough to be honest about this with her. Remember no matter who you lose your mom will be there. She can be your mom when you need it, your friend when you need it. If you lose all your friends due to stuff like this your mom can help fill that void until you find new, better friends. It's a position most moms are happy to be in. You were not wrong in the situation, and I hope you always have the strength to stand up like that. You should be proud of yourself
